I worked with Jeanette in the church library and we had many fun chats.  She loved her family and it made me smile when she would tell me about her trips to Disneyland.  She took her visiting teaching assignment very seriously and faithfully contacted her assigned sisters.  She will be missed.

Jeanette's passing came as a great shock to us. We were out of town. I loved her very much. When I was first called as the Relief Society President I was terrified. Jeanette was the first one to come to me with words of support and confidence in my ability.  She remained my supporter the whole time I was president.  She was always helpful and working quietly in the background. She was my ultimate source of Disneyland info. I will miss her ready 
smile and her hugs. Our prayers are with you. May The Lord comfort you in you sorrow and in the sad times to come. 
Love to you all,
Darlene and Richard Beckstead Family

To all who loved Jeanette, I am very sorry for the loss of your sweet wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. I loved and respected her so much. She was loving and kind and she will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She always had a kind word for me whenever I would see her. She was definitely one of our father's choice daughters.

Nanette and family, I am so very sorry about you mom Jeanette. I was her visiting teacher for a while when I lived in your ward in Las Vegas. I learned to love that sweet lady. I wish for our heavenly Father's tender love for you, your dad, and all the rest of the family. Know that you are thought of and loved.

Jeanette Bell was a great person, and we loved her.   I will always remember how she liked fun.  Disneyland, dominos, and good friends.  Several years ago, when we were new to Henderson, Jeanette and John invited us to a party in their home.  The theme of the party was Apples.  The food, decor, and games all had an apple theme.  I love apples, and the party was very fun and memorable.  I even tasted a few I did not know existed.  Apples! A little memory of a great person.

I really loved Jeanette.  She served many but did it quietly without wanting recognition.  The very day I was called as Young woman's president, I had the task of making sure 20+ girls had skirts and bonnets for the pioneer trek which was to be held in the next couple of months. That evening,  Jeanette Bell Knocked on my door with bolts of fabric in hand (like four or five) for  the girls skirts   Every inch of the fabric was used outfitting the girls for the trek.                                                At one point Jeanette was the nursery leader and of course she was fantastic and did it with style and love. She made sure the toys were clean and the children had carpets to sit on for story time, everything was perfect.  My son Tommy was in her Nursery Class.  He loved her very much.  
she told me many times how much she loved Tommy.  What a great leader she was!  In fact just a few months before she passed, she pulled me aside at church, with a tear in her eye told me she was watching Tommy pass the sacrament and just wanted me to know how much she loved Tommy.             I also loved Jeanette's sense of style.  She always looked like a million bucks and she looked so young too!   those are just a few of the things I loved about Jeanette Bell!  Til we meet again Jeanette!  Love you!

My favorite memory of Jeanette was that of one of Nanette's humanitarian project days.  Jeanette was busy helping several small groups tie quilts, and I asked what I could to to help her--she always seemed so busy and cheery helping others help!  One of the groups was comprised of young girls--probably Beehives--who were busy finishing their very first quilt.  Jeanette smiled that smile of hers and asked me to take their quilt to a quiet corner and "fix" all the knots that the girls had left on the underside of their quilt.  She did not want to dampen their enthusiastic efforts in any way.  What a saintly example!  She was easy to love and was an inspiration to me.  I'm glad to have known her.

I am very sad that I lost such a good co-worker. I have worked with Jeanette for 4 months but i feel that I have known her for ever. She was a very very good person, helpful, jolly, full of fun a very hard worker. She love her job very much. It hurts to loose a friend so sudden. Jeanette always happy and full of energy to work with. I always make sure that the fitting room is nice and clean before she starts her shift. today I work her shift and I close my eyes and try to connect with Jeanette because I know and I can feel that she is with me side by side while I was work at the fitting room for her. I make sure that it is kept organize and neat the way she always do.but nobody can replaced that duties. I only work with her for a short time but it seem a lifetime.she is full of energy and fun. Jeanette is a very hard worker and very down to earth person with a big heart.We all gonna miss you at Ann Taylor. And we will never forget you.
